|discussion=<p><i>Festuca rubra </i>subsp.<i> arenaria</i> is a European taxon that grows in maritime sands and gravels. It is known in the Flora region only from one specimen collected on Vancouver Island; it is not known to have persisted. The description is based on the range of variation seen in Europe. In the Flora region, the name has long been misapplied to F. richardsonii Hook. [= <i>F. rubra </i>subsp.<i> arctica</i>], which also has hairy lemmas.</p>
